Lazy, not stupid

Sir: I was surprised to find an inaccuracy in the article by Charles Moore on 5 March (`To the Cape and back').

I took Mr Moore to Rondebosch in my taxi. He reports that I was too stupid to go to Harrow. There was no question of my going to Harrow. I went to Michaelhouse. My cousins went to Harrow-on-the-Hill. I said that I was too lazy to go to St John's, Cambridge, which is another matter.
